@ Isn't that what I was implying? I don't mind the music, personally, but I'm just saying that the audio was distracting. Typically music is only needed when the content can't fully hold the conversation or can be a bit dry. News is dry by nature most of the time so music isn't a bad idea.

FUN! The way the tech news silo is supposed to be witnessed, as it should be, yeah, can't beat 'em join 'em. Keep this up and we will have to send you some more money! Basically this is tech news as entertainment, it works and it's the news. :-)

Well there is no way that Wayland can replace X11 at the moment. Most of the software we use on X11 doesn't work on Wayland. I know because I have tested out Fedora and none of the screen recorders worked on Wayland. So I had to install the X11 Session which does not come with Fedora as it does on Ubuntu and Debian because of this. I am not the only one who is having this problem. So if X11 goes away what are we all supposed to do?
I use Fedora and the new capture tool for KDE, I suppose the first question is which Fedora version and which flavor or DE or Window Manager are you using?
@@CyberGizmo You are the first person I know who has managed to get a screen recorder working on Wayland. Nobody else I know has. I find that the webcam software works fine. I can record from my webcam and the audio recording works on Wayland. But I cannot record my screen at all. Nothing I have tried works under Wayland. I was using Fedora Workstation which is the Gnome desktop. But none of the screen recorders I tried worked on Wayland. So I installed the X11 Session and then I was able to use that to record my desktop. I normally use Debian which already has X11 installed and so does Ubuntu. But on Fedora you have to install it yourself.
Hello DJ Ware, I'm a long-time viewer of your channel, your in-depth explanations of unix systems and historical evolution of IT. Your ability to connect historical context to modern is invaluable, helped me with understanding of why things are the way they are. This is what what makes your channel unique. My feedback that many other channels cover Linux news, I feel your expertise is brightest when you go into more complex topics. videos like on micro and pico kernels so many other of your old vids., personally I'd wish to see more tutorial like videos. Practical guides as setting up a home lab from configuring OPNsense(pfSense) and all home network integration how ti setup Ceph etc . Also, please don't cut out the "ranting" segments - for me they are most interesting part , coz givd perspective on the IT world basically it helped to broden my view how all works and all came to be. Of course, is just my feedback, it's your channel. I simply wanted to share my perspective . Your channel is one of my favourite pro Linux channels , and I'm hoping you will continue making ur videos , perhaps revisiting some of ur older videos . Hope i didn't overstept boundaries , and didn't annoy with long "ranting" comment :) Best regards - Serge
First thanks for both the kind words and the suggestions. I do still make tutorials and in fact made 2 last week, neither of whic his being watched much. Don't know what to say about that, but I laid out the changes for the channel around the first of the year in a community post. Most of the feed back was positive. Appreciate the suggestion and don''t worry I have no plan to stop the other types of videos.
you missed a piece of Linux news - updates to BCacheFS are back in 6.14 - though whether or not Linus will eventually just deprecate and then remove it from the kernel remains to be seen.
The only use I, a desktop user would have for bcachefs, is as a replacement for zfs. I did run zfs some time back, but decided that btrfs allowed me to comfortably use my files on 99.5% of Linux systems. (Sorry for skipping 3 distros that do not support btrfs yet).
@@lsatenstein ZFS in linux will never be an official thing (part of the kernel) due to oracle's license and Linus' distrust) - you just have to find a distro that takes up the challenge of supporting it, BTRFS is supposed to be the equivalent to ZFS but as far as I know, it is lagging behind quite a bit to ZFS; I haven't even really researched much of BCacheFS - other than it is a copy-on-write FS , but I just know more of it now due to the drama between Linus and Kent ; which is why I am kind of glad I never decided to try it out - considering it's precarious status as of now in the kernel itself.
Well that's fun news. 😑 I'm hip deep into a project in blender that requires cycles as the only render engine that can do fisheye camera rendering. I have a rtx 3060 card so I don't know if that means it's old enough that will just continue working or I'm about one update away from effectively not being able to work on that project anymore. The latest support chatter on the Nvidia sight for Linux users is not very friendly 😅
@CyberGizmo I'm a bit surprised that the blender people haven't been on this in some way. There's literally only one way to do fisheye rendering and it requires Nvidia based ray tracing. The cycles render engine. They have two or three different renderers but none of them can do the one thing I need! 😅
@@CyberGizmoSo I installed another Arch over a previous OS I wasn't using anymore to test Wayland and blender can function but cycles is limited to the CPU. I can try some stuff there first but it sounds like Arch customizes the kernel as part of installing Nvidia drivers so maybe it's not a problem? I don't know.
@@CyberGizmofor what it's worth I'm cautiously optimistic after getting the new install fully configured with Nvidia and all updated. Semantically challenging for a dope like me but I got there.
what is AI/LLM ... mess? The screenshots.. some random clips it seems like... went thru the script too? the music? I'd rather just hear a 40min ramble from the heart about something. I know you've got a couple from before that have been cut xD
Hi Colin, well thanks for the comments. The broll (mess as you you call it) was not random, I chose those specifically for the parts in the video, and yes I do write a script, but its mainly an outline for me to follow so I dont forget what I want to cover. Hope this helps
The music was a bit loud.
Remove the music, please
Keep doing great videos!
I couldn't watch the whole thing. There must be a new UA-cam suggestion for creators: Drive your audience to madness with music.

@@larskramer3348 yes music unnecessary. Just the calm cadence of DJ

It may be due to them waiting in line for 6 days to get an RTX 5090 and they ran out when the guy right in front of them bought the last one in stock
What about eggs price?!!
Thanks!

Hey, I want to suggest to add overlay text with news headlines while you talk about them. It would improve the presentation.
Good suggestion, will see what I can do

So my Athlon X4 is not safe, backup computer needs updating, raspberry pi 5 with nvme storage, ready !
I have no need for gtk4 and I have no need for gtk period lol. I also have no need for wayland.
Game makers' Discrimination against Linux users is racism.
soon i will sell my gameboy at profit, now that demand is up
LOL, don't do it, hold out for antique status it will be worth a fortune
Fun with bad news!
Wayland meh
Horrible music disturbing
